In the Plessy vs. Ferguson case, the court ruled that segregation of public spaces like restaurants, buses, drinking fountains, schools, and many others was legal and constitutional so long as these separate spaces were equal. The court stipulated that the spaces for African-Americans had to be as nice and as up-to-date as those for Caucasians. The reality was that "separate but equal" was never upheld, and the discrepancy in quality between white schools and African-American schools eventually led to another Supreme Court case, Brown vs. Board of Education, which overturned the decision of Plessy vs. Ferguson and made "separate but equal" illegal. Brown vs. Board of Education made integration the norm.
